^ those are size 7.5 D barrie last. I definitely feel that the NST boots are a little more aggressively styled than the Indy boots (which without a doubt are classics). But I already own the Indy boots and wanted these as well. Whether you will regret buying them in 3 years no one can answer that except yourself. I will say that as the number of types of Indys is growing exponentially at the moment, some dealers are moving to other Alden designs which is why you are probably seeing more NST boots nowadays, at least in stores and not in real life.

in short, I would consider blue reverse chamois Indys with red brick soles a fad (if they existed), these, not so much.

hi everyone! hope your having a great christmas! so, i am sure this has been covered, before... but am curious on peoples thoughts on the new hampton last. fit, look, and of course pic's would be greatly appreciated! thanks! and happy holidays!

How does this boot fare in terms of styling and longetivity. Is this a classic style, or will I look back 3 years from now and ask why did I ever buy these boots? I like the split toe look but it is something I have never seen anyone wear in real life, just wondering if it is a SF fad or not?

We introduced them back in 2007. Three years later, still one of our best selling boots.

Anyone here got a pair on Modified last? If so, how do they compare to Barrie? I know both are suppose to be 1/2 bigger, but I would like to know in addition to the length, if the widths are the same as well. The Barrie last fits me pretty nicely and am thinking about a pair in Modified last.

Is there any difference between the Perf. Captoe Balmorals on theshoemart.com and aldenshop.com? Theshoemart specifices Hampton last, but aldenshop does not. Should I order my normal size 12D either way?
